Carolina waved Everett over. "Everett, csit down." She indicated the spot next to Joy. Everett walked over and sat down, choosing a chair opposite the group instead of beside anyone.

Carolina was caught off guard.
"Everett, do you have any thoughts?" figured She was too busy to bother with th the details, assuming she'd handle everything. But if he was interested, even better.
